It's been a while since the last posting but not for lack of things accomplished. We worked in Mixed Media, computer design for art quilts and accomplished ourselves in arashi shibori. Thanks to Anne Selby from Bath UK. Her supplies were invaluable. Her dvd was very detailed. However, a previous background in dyeing with knowledge of color theory is necessary to produce marketable products. We will be continuing with Shibori of many types designing all silk wardropes that make use of arashi shibori as well. |

After taking graphic design courses with art courses since 2007, I will be attending the Art University of San Francisco, CA. How, on line. You take pictures of your art work to complete assignments and they are digitally marked up by the Art Professors.
In January, I had changed to the Art Institute of Graphic Design from Charlotte to Pittsburgh and I've taken five courses already. I have one more to take and that completes my course work in graphic design.
I'm going to give myself a break but also update my portfolio to show to the Art University of San Francisco. |

Our membership is small due to the fact that the guild is located in a farming community. Traditional quilting is a very favorite past time. I belonged to the Cabarrus County Quilt Guild while I was starting the NC Piedmont Art Quilt Guild. There was a very small group of women who met outside the guild to do their form of art quilting. Unfortunately, it was not art and convincing them to try out a legitimate art teaching guild was impossible. They knew nothing about art, never took an art course and by example did not make art. |

Yesterday, I received my Jan/Feb issue of Quilting Arts. On occasion I will read Robbi's column to get a laugh. However, this time Robbi writes that her quilts were turned down as part of an art portfolio by the Chicago Institute of Art. She will have to take all the art and design courses to get college credits and try to reapply with a new portfolio for her MFA, Masters of Fine Art.
This is an excellent example of why the North Carolina Piedmont Art Quilt Guild was formed.
You get the courses brought to you that give you the information along with workshops and lectures on art quilt techniques to turn your art quilts into legitimate pieces of art. |
